BEAUTY : PRETTY PINKS & GLOWY GOLDS

BEAUTY : PRETTY PINKS & GLOWY GOLDS >

I get a few requests now and again to post a YouTube tutorial for some of my make-up ‘looks’… Errr, um, no sorry. I don’t do voice work! I think I would have to swallow my own vomit if I heard my voice played back,. So it looks like you’re all stuck with my witty and informative words instead – and great advice of course. Today’s beauty post includes all my absolute favourite products to fake that gorgeous glow. These products are never not in my beauty bag and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Mwah!

PRODUCT BREAKDOWN:

I would just like to declare that I am a TOTAL FAKE – when it comes to ‘glowing skin’, anyway. I fake it all the way, as sleep is something I seem to see very little of these days. I use a combination of liquid highlighters and powders, and I’m probably technically incorrect in how/where I apply it, but hey?! You can get your real make-up advice elsewhere. Below is a breakdown of my FAVOURITE products to fake it with >

ARMANI Designer Lift Foundations : 5.5 is the shade I use, and this is available at David Jones (Chadstone, CBD & online only). This is the BEST foundation in the history of the world. I’m not even going to say anymore, other than it will change your face and life – in that order

MAC Extra Dimension Blush (Cheeky Bits) : this is a pinky/coral and I LUHV IT! Yer, yer, everyone goes on about NARS and I do love them, but I totally rank MAC above them in the blush department. Soz. For blush and lipstick, I prefer to buy these in person for the first time, just to ensure the colour is perfect for my naturally tanned skin… *cough, cough*. Once you know your fave, totes sit on yo’ butt and order online though

CAUDALIE Beauty Elixir : it’s essentially a toning mist that also sets your make-up, but I spray it at least 470 times per day #becauseican. There will be no slippery dipping off your face with this stuff, and you will get AM – PM wear out of your make-up. I promise. It’s hydrating, it smells incredible and there’s a mini size for your handbag. BUY THIS, BUT THIS, BLOODY BUY THIS!

BECCA X CHRISSY TEIGEN Glow Face Palette : if you love soft pearls, bronzed and glowy golds, the prettiest of pinks… Well, this baby is for you. I jumped on this so fast thinking it would only be a limited edition, but it’s still around – woo! You can shop this one online at SEPHORA (pictured below)

YVES SAINT LAURENT Touche Eclat Blur Primer : this stuff is pure gold and feels like some delicious kind of silk coating your skin. I don’t use primer on a daily basis, only for special occasions (this stuff is not cheap!). I only use primer when I’m wearing my game face, as it 100% holds it all together for longer and my foundation/eye shadow glide on with perfection. During the week I just use a moisturiser, a spot of concealer and some bronzer. I also mix this one with the Laura Mercier (radiant), and they work beautifully together – it’s oil-free too! Winning. YSL primer is available at MECCA, David Jones and the Laura Mercier is also available at David Jones and online at Adore Beauty. You’re welcome…
